I am not aware that Walter was “a director” of the Pioneer Fund. However, the excerpt you quoted below is suspect because HUAC did not produce any documents whose intent or theme was “to demonstrate that blacks were genetically inferior and ought to be irepatriated’ to Africa.”

However, in 1954, HUAC did produce a report entitled Preliminary Report on Neo-Fascist and Hate Groups (link below) which excoriated individuals, organizations, and publications which DID believe “that blacks were genetically inferior and ought to be repatriated’ to Africa.”

Let us continue on Rep. Francis E. Walter.

Stefan Khl’s Examination of Pioneer Fund Tactics
Chapter 1: The “New” Scientific Racism

The Pioneer Fund, as historian Barry Mehler has demonstrated, has a dismal record on civil rights issues. In the post–World War II period, certain recipients of the Pioneer Fund aligned themselves with the American Right in fighting against the Supreme Court ruling that declared segregated schooling unconstitutional. Draper, who until the 1960s served as both the main benefactor and the most influential figure in the Pioneer Fund, also worked with the United States House Un-American Activities Committee to demonstrate that blacks were genetically inferior and ought to be “repatriated” to Africa. Francis E. Walter, the director of the Pioneer Fund in the 1950s and 1960s, chaired the same committee. In the 1970s, the Pioneer Fund granted $40,000 to Ralph Scott, professor of educational psychology at the University of Northern Iowa, for his investigation of “forced busing and its relationship to genetic aspects of educability.” Scott also used the funds to organize antibusing conferences.
